God how I love that man. I could watch him debunking these dishonest propagandists all day long.
I could not agree more. That exactly is what the secretary of Transport did with Scott Perry!!!
Still worth it for these politicians to get those sweeeet sweet ff industry campaign contributions
I have been. It's great. Like bingewatching a noteworthy show. Lmao.
All they do is lie 😂😂😂
Which part was the "lie"?
@@GoldenWarIIIwatch the video, Perry was clearly called out on falsehoods 4 times
Everything he says is a lie hello mcfly!!!! Trump 2024 🙏👍🇺🇸
@@bardsamok9221 not !!!!!!!!
@@bardsamok9221If Bootyjuice fact checked it, it was absolutely true information.
Petey Juicybooty couldn’t tell the truth even if it was given to him on notecards.
Love Pete's response. Measured and factual. "Sparks Fly" isn't totally accurate. It's more like Scott Perry had a little sparkler, and Pete Buttigieg had a fire extinguisher.
Too bad it was packed with lies. Buttigieg fails to note that you will need 2 cars if you plan on using a vehicle for any longer road trips. Nobody is going to sit around for hors while their EV charges at some remote spot on your trip. The hours wasted by people is just incredible and make the 5 minute gas station fill-up look like a dream come true.
@@48Ballen what was one of the lies? Also, in this fantasy of yours, is the second car tied to the top of the first car or what?
@@48Ballen lol also dude welcome to the conversation 1 month later, I guess? But it's cool, I'm here for you.
@@48Ballen I own a 100% EV in Europe - a Volvo. We have the infrastructure to charge FAST here (150+ Kw/h) pretty much anywhere near where I am. I can also install a charger in my own home if I'm ok with the car employing a slower (and cheaper) charge while I sleep. Would I take my EV on a cross-EU (cross-country USA) trip? No. Well... maybe - because it's so awesome to drive! In the USA, I guess I'd rent a car for that. And then go happily back to my EV for everyday life.
The point is: your idea of needing to "sit around" for ""wasted hours" is simply not true; super-fast EV charging stations are (or in the Democrat-lead USA's future: will be) built with human bio-break needs nearby: food, grocery, shopping, bathrooms... even cinemas! These stops become built-in opportunities for short rest and relaxation during long trips. Hotels are also adding slower (less demanding or expensive) charging stations for their overnight guests.
But the reality you're missing is that most car usage throughout a year is NOT long trips - it's short trips to/from work, school, shopping, errands, etc. These trips become cheaper with an EV. My first European car, bought new in 2003, is a VW Lupo 3L (never marketed in the USA) which I still have and gets 82 MPG diesel; my new EV drives further-per-$ than our beloved Lupo 3L... but the new car is bigger, better, safer, more comfortable, great stereo, has air conditioning and power EVERYTHING.
If you live in an area with public-access charging, I suggest you try driving a EV for a week or two; you'll be hooked.
More and more I see which side Forbes is leaning.
Yaaaas this was so satisfying, what a well-spoken politician. Need more of this please!
If EV's actually worked, they wouldn't need Government subsidies and tax credits for people to buy them.
Exactly
Once I found out that the EV Battery goes bad after 10-12 years and a replacement battery is 17.500 to 22,000 that was it for me! EV's came take a flying leap!
I agree! Lets also get rid of the gas subsidies!
If ICE vehicles actually worked the fuel they used and the production, exploration of it wouldn't be substandized by the government. Including substadizes to farmers in the growing of crops for bio diesel and ethanol.
Climate change is real, get over your hurt feelings.
If EVs are so successful, why do they need to be subsidized?
We subsidize fossil fuels
@buddybadee because fossil fuels fuel your economy, and make your products.
@@buddybadee No we don't. The administration has gone out of their way to make them more expensive by halting supply projects, like the Keystone XL pipeline.
@@buddybadee No we do not.
To pay for Elmo's 56 B$ salary.
Let's not forget the endless coal cars heading to the power plants charging the electric cars.
Yeah good thing renewable energy sources are now less expensive than fossil fuels, and will inevitably replace those coal cars.
Not after the coal is stopped..............
@@bill3641 And we shouldn't forget how Buttagig and the EPA set up all of this b.s. by requiring ONLY ONE data point which controls the official pollution figure,,,,THE TAILPIPE which guarantees that the EPA can forever favor EV's. But, it's the TIRES on an EV, because of those car's excessive weight, require chemical formulations that spew far more pollution than even ANY IC car manufactured for the past 10+ years. This is ALL A SCAM.

@@jerrybarry562
Hunter Biden was a naval officer....
Average annual income in US: $60K; average cost of an EV: $70K
Average cost is under 50K. About 5% more than IC car. But zero maintenance on EV, and electricity is much cheaper than gasoline. Over 4-5 years, EV is much cheaper.
Average intelligence of a GOP operative taking money from the oil industry so that they will oppose EV subsidies...0.
and that's $60kl before payroll taxes.
Most republicans can’t afford their $60k GMC trucks that they buy on credit. At least these are better for everyone.
The hell are you talking about? The model Y is the most popular EV in the world and is around 40k

Pete is young and intelligent, but I am sure that among republicans their will.be decent people too.
I’m not a big fan of EVs but don’t knock people that choose them. There are pros and cons to each. People should continue to be allowed to choose what they want to drive.
I own a EV best car I've ever own, why because it's the only car you can fill up at home. I still own my gas car I use when I got to get up and go out of town and not worry about pre planning my trips even though I prefer the EV which is a way more comfortable ride. So having both is the best of both worlds.
@@Hadden733 It seems like PHEV or HEV might be the sweet spots. I am a bit concerned by how fast EVs depreciate versus those with Internal Combustion engines.
@@Quietstorm_ATL Did you mean Hybrids my gas car is a hybrid 2013 so older model still gets 40mpg. The new one now get 60 mpg and much more power even the plug in are money because you can tend to go first 30 miles all electric before gas engine kicks in. It's all preferences and the issue people have is range anxiety. I had it too when I first got my Tesla. But once you learn how the car operates, that's no more especially after I drove from Iowa all the way to California and back so I know how far my car can go leading up to the next charger. So it's not even an issue. If you doing daily driving from home to work and back it's money. You don't have to use public charger just at home charging. That's why I say it's the only car I can fill up at home.
@@Quietstorm_ATLcost expectations are that hybrids will be the most expensive choice in a few years.
Batteries are gonna keep getting cheaper and apparently the added complexity of putting both systems in one car is likely to become the determining factor in what costs most
@@SigFigNewton when hybrids came out people were saying the same negative thing about hybrids as they are about EVs the cost of replacing the battery. If people did their research you find those 2008 hybrid batteries are being replaced for about $1000 the Prius hybrid can be done cheaper by replacing one of the the battery cells. I'm sure with the more EVS being sold ten years from now it cost 80% cheaper.
Buttigieg is lying by including hybrid vehicle sales with pure ev sales. People actually like hybrids.
hybrids is where its at. Great concept that works very well
@@gw8871 Buttigieg slandered hybrid's right up till he had to stop talking about them.
You don't need chargers for hybrids!! Apples to oranges!!
@@gw8871 Until you have to replace the battery.
@@WalterDempsey-bj6ut A home charger using .12/kWh electricity runs my PHEV for 40 miles per day at equivalent gasoline cost of $1.26/gallon. That saves me nearly $3! unfortunately the depreciation is $40...
I am in transportation for over 30 years in Southern California. 2 weeks ago I purchased a used Transit ( 2 years old) from the dealer. They were trying to sell me a new electric one for less! I was open to it. The price was great (subsidized by tax dollars of course), but there was a serious glitch. It could only go 108 miles on a full charge ... That means my drivers would be out of fuel before 10am ... Hard pass! So basically we are subsidizing a non-working technology. Instead of shoving it down our throat, spend the money in R&D.
The e-Transits are selling well for certain uses but they definitely need to add more tange to them. That's a Ford problem not a government problem.
So 1 faulty item means they're all faulty. Thanks for your definitely true anecdotal story Bobby Zahibi.
E-Transit Custom Van Trend 320 L1H1 65kWh100 with speed limited to 80mph has 200 mile range before charging at a charge point, in varied driving conditions.
@@GregHasslerYes thee Fords not the most impressive for extra long distance but very good vehicles. Charging points are common around here, 200k is fine and stops the air pollution in the city.
Like your average driver drives 100 miles before lunch every day. 😂
Remember when Elon Musk was not invited to attend Biden’s summit for electric vehicles?
Love the way he calmly bulldozes through the interruptions and bluster.

A post from 2018 resurfaces.
I mean, the entire world literally laughed at Trump when he spoke at the UN, but ok.
Everyone who tries to challenge Pete gets taken to school
Interesting interchange. Congressman made mostly false accusations. He seems proud of doing that. The Secretary appeared to be carefully making ONLY true statements.
Largely, it seemed to me, that the congressman from the fossil fuel party was attempting to use facts to spin a false narrative
For example when he said that EV sales were down in Q1.
Technically wasn’t a lie. But it was worth it for the secretary to set the story straight. Sales are seasonal, so it makes far more sense to compare to the year ago quarter.
That is Buttigeig's story.....I don't believe a word he says and he certainly doesn't discuss reality with electric cars...which is : .Good for commuting to work a relatively. short distance, good for nothing else !!!!!
@@48Ballen sooo, got facts to refute the Secretary?
The congressman spoke uninterrupted, then kept interrupting the secretary’s answers. Not fair.

@@tombussio4979 Yep, Do some research, They pollute and are more expensive to operate than diesel.
@@tombussio4979Facts! Those batteries themselves leave a worse carbon foot print than ANY gas powered engine. Not only that, HOW do you get rid of spent batteries? We have NOT found a way. They cannot be safely destroyed per REAL environmental regulations
@tombussio4979 What about the charges that EVs involved in even rather minor traffic accidents have to be totaled due to the fear of extreme danger caused by damaged batteries? What will that do to ALL motor vehicle insurance rates? Then there's the increase road and tire wear caused by the extra weight of the vehicles. None of this is a regular part of the debate concerning EVs.
Makes me want to go start my two tractors, diesel truck, lawn mower, trimmer, and two chainsaws - and let them idle for a while...
That’s GREAT!!! LOVE your comment!!!!👏👏👏👏👏👍
Ok? This will make no difference other than hurt you for paying for more gas for those machines when you use them. This doesn't deter away from the fact that EVs are less expensive, more reliable or becoming more reliable and more American's are switching from gas powered to EVs at a faster rate especially with Teslas booming. More people buy them, the more supply they will have to meet for the demand. Simple economics. I have no idea why you would do all that just out of spite. That's time wasted doing productive things.

"Bureaucrat" already implied "cocky" and "arrogant".
Yeah, good thing Pete put him in his place.
We bought the cheapest EV on the market, and it was $45,000. Tell me that's somehow cheaper than a conventional vehicle. Most will run $70,000-80,000. BootyJudge is LYING. And what happened to the billions of dollars in the "infrastructure" bill for charging stations? ONLY 7 were built! SEVEN! For billions of dollars???
The average cost of a new car in the US is $48,000. The lowest priced EVs for sale today, before subsidies, are under $30,000.
Pete is using real numbers rather than anecdotal evidence.
7 or 8 were built...were not sure... we will get back to you with those numbers
$1.2 trillion dollars, two years later and Mayor "Pete", has built 6 charging stations. Usual Democrat efficiency.
If oil companies had not incentivized auto makers to build gas guzzling engines for decades and instead encouraged gas sippers maybe I'd agree that incentivizing people to buy electric cars was wrong. They brought their own problems. Bottom line is it costs less to charge a battery than it does to fill a tank therefore people are encouraged to buy electric. The market does provide the answer. Big Oil is asking the government to play by a different set of rules (now where have I heard that before??)
Buttfudge needs to be fired!!!
Basically what I’m getting from most of the comments here amounts to, "EVs scare me because they are new and I’m scared of change."
EV’s are not scary and we aren’t afraid of change. If you cleaned your ears, what you would be hearing is we don’t want the government subsidizing a technology filled with flaws, the least of which is our electric grid can’t support a mass transition to Electric vehicles. Take away subsidies and remove government purchases and the market will collapse.
If that's all you got from the comments, then you're not to bright. Electronics, phones etc are made from oil

You do have to laugh as Buddphucker said Perry was lying, then proceeded to lie, all by himself. The smug way he talked over Perry's presenting of the facts, truly showed the kind of person 'mayor Pete' certainly is.
The real question is how many EVs are actually registered and in hands of private individuals. Not sitting on dealership lots. What are the actual numbers of vehicles that are actually registered and on the road in everyday use.
This should help with your question...........a recent survey showed that 95 percent of EV's purchased are still on the road today!!...........The remaining 5 percent were lucky and actually made it all the way home!!!!
@@MarkDuffy-su9ug apparently you don't know the difference between what is sold and actually is on the road. When automaker produces an electric car it is sold to the dealer it is up to the dealer to get financing for what is sitting on their lot. Last time I looked Ford motor company has a 1300 Day supply of mustang Mach E they were already sold to the dealership but nobody's buying them from the dealerships.
EV’s work as good as the Postal System. 😂
Rear Admiral Buttigieg is an embarrassing box checker.
I am a long time Republican and these congress people who are trying to demonize EV's for policical points are plain stupid. Both sides should shut up, they are ignorant.
I read yesterday that to charge one car consumes as much electricity as 260 homes at one time.
For the peak rate at a DC fast charger that's probably in the ballpark. That rate only lasts for minutes. A 20 gallon tank of gasoline contains enough energy to power an average US house for 23 days, for comparison. EVs are far more efficient with the energy they consume, generally 3 to 5 times more efficient than gasoline engines.
@@GregHassler I wouldn't have one. I've seen so many of them catch fire and I'd never park one in a garage either.
The cost of a replacement battery is so expensive and they have no way to recycle them.

Apparently, Mr Buttigieg hasn't been to a car dealership lately. Most dealers are refusing delivery of EVs because they are not selling.

AMEN!!!!! I miss Reagan!!!!😪
Biden proved Ronald Reagan right.
The ACA paved the way for govt to limit/force the sale of a product on the citizens of this country. Remember, all health ins policies had to include the ‘10 essential’ coverages whether the consumer req’d the coverage or not. Catastrophic policies were outlawed. Citizens were fined if they chose not to purchase health insurance. But CONGRESS was EXEMPT.

I live in Indianapolis Indiana ….a solidly red state……and I drive for a living…..you can’t swing a dead cat without running into a Tesla……so all your Pearl clutching about “no one wants them “ doesn’t ring true here….in Indy…..the 500 city…….grow up…….EV’s are hot here…….
If sales of EV's are up, why are the manufacturers complaining and backing off on production?? Lie much Buttigieg??
EV sales are up. Manufacturers are always complaining.
Most of them see an enormous revue stream (service and maintenance) disappear.
@@ZesPak I don't think so!! Ford lost 4 billion dollars on EV production last year!!
What a mental gymnast this little chipmunk is.
Mayor Pete has that glow..... Here comes more maternity leave😂
You are a bigot, right?
Our local ford dealers can't sell evs. They don't even want them on their lots! Even with massive discounts!
Of course they don't want them. Check out the business model for dealerships. They make money on service, not on selling cars. Why would they want to sell a car they never need to service?
Im so sick of ev's. Tired of the lie and Im fed up with my tax dollars being used to subsidize this plan that I dont want to participate in.
Tell me when you're gonna get tired of the goverment subsidizing the oil & gas industry.
Please address him by: Mrs. Pete Buttigieg for he has a husband! Hopefully he drives all EV'S!
He has a Toyota Prius. It's really cute. He carries his "electric bike" on it.
@@rahkinrah1963 I am sure you are right. Take care!
Climate change is real, get over your bad self.
Buttigieg is so arrogant. EV sounded like a good idea but unfortunately they are not as effective as thought. He also is very RUDE to his constituents
He's not rude per say, calling someone out for lying is just a correction. Facts don't care about your feelings.
Have you ever met Pete? I have and he's one of the friendliest guys I've ever met. I'd volunteer again for his next campaign in a heartbeat.
I don’t want an EV and I know a lot of people feel that way!
Get the government out of the way and let the market decide.
Pete is 100% spot on. get rid of mandates. EVs are the future
What a reply!!
So its clear they continue to get taxpayers to subsidize the ev market.
let the free markets sort out
I love love love love Pete!
How are those 'Solar Blocking' space/orbit thingies coming along?
Butt judge is such a little liar!
